Spewy
Earp Distilling Co., Carrington, Newcastle, 2023
A Novocastrian rom-com, staged in a Newcastle distillery.
Al loves Newcastle. Nic hates it, but after Sydney chewed her up Nic has had to move back up the coast. Nearly ten years after high school Nic and Al meet again by chance at the pub, and the old question returns: “God’s Country” or “Spewcastle”?
Written by Newcastle playwright Ang Collins, Spewy played a sold-out season at Earp Distilling Co. in Carrington as part of New Annual, the City of Newcastle’s festival, from 27 to 30 September 2023.
